Manchester United have made a big statement about their future, but they are not stopping there. The club has confirmed a new long-term deal for Kobbie Mainoo, while also planning major midfield signings this summer.
It is a busy time at Manchester United F.C., and fans are starting to get excited about what comes next.
Mainoo Commits Future to United
One of the biggest pieces of news is the new contract for Mainoo. The young midfielder has now signed a deal that will keep him at the club until 2031.
This is huge for United. Mainoo is seen as one of the best young talents coming through the academy. He has already made close to 100 appearances and scored some important goals.

One of his biggest moments came in the 2024 FA Cup Final, where he scored in the win over Manchester City F.C.
At one point, it looked like his future could be away from Old Trafford. He was not getting regular chances under Ruben Amorim, and there were talks about a loan move.
But things changed when Michael Carrick took charge. Since then, Mainoo has become a key player again and helped the team move up the table.
United Still Wants More Midfield Power
Even with Mainoo staying, Manchester United are not done.
The club is planning to sign at least two new midfielders in the summer transfer window. They want to build a strong team that can compete at the top level again.
One name that keeps coming up is Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United F.C.
Tonali on United Radar
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are “for sure” interested in Tonali.
The Italian midfielder is highly rated and seen as a top player in the Premier League. His teammate Bruno Guimarães has even called him “unbelievable”.

Tonali has had a tough time in the past, but has stayed strong and focused. Now, he is once again attracting attention from big clubs.
The good news for United is that Tonali would prefer to stay in the Premier League if he leaves Newcastle. That gives English clubs a better chance to sign him.
Big Price Tag Could Be Problem
However, signing Tonali will not be easy.
Newcastle is in a strong position and does not need to sell. The player still has time left on his contract, and the club will demand a huge fee.
Reports suggest it could cost around £95 million to sign him. That is a big amount, even for a club like Manchester United.
Tonali is also earning around £120,000 per week, which adds to the cost of the deal.
More Targets on the List
Tonali is not the only player United are looking at.
They are also interested in young forward Eli Junior Kroupi, who is seen as a rising talent.
There could be a battle with Manchester City F.C. for his signature, which shows how serious United are about improving the squad.
This is an exciting time for Manchester United.
Keeping Mainoo is a big win for the club, as he is one of their brightest young stars. But the plans do not stop there.
The interest in Tonali shows that United wants to bring in top-quality players and build a stronger midfield.
It will not be easy, especially with the high price, but the club is clearly ready to spend.
Fans will now wait to see how the summer transfer window plays out. One thing is clear: Manchester United means business.
